Used BD BIOSCIENCES FACSCalibur #123322 for sale

BD™ Biosciences BD BIOSCIENCES FACSCalibur™ is a flow cytometer workstation used to measure and analyze fluorochromes, dyes, and particles. This instrument is used in a variety of applications, including cancer research, clinical diagnostics, pharmacokinetics, and in other biomedical research areas. It is a benchtop equipment and includes BD Cellquest™ software, enabling easy setup and operation of the instrument. FACSCalibur is a four laser flow cytometer that is capable of detecting 4 colors. It supports up to six colors and can process data from up to eight detectors. It utilizes a combination of two lasers, blue laser and argon laser, to obtain the required fluorescence. The beam offset, which is how far a given laser is deflected, is adjustable and provides optimal compensation when detecting multiple fluorochrome combinations. The core of the instrument is the flow cell. It is a quartz-based chamber which allows the flow chamber of the instrument to be able to detect particles under various flow rates. The flow rate can be adjusted in the range of 0.06-10 µL/minute. The precision of the fluidics system, along with its high resolution are paramount for ensuring consistency and accuracy in data collection. The detectors are set up in a detection station. This station is equipped with a high-resolution avalanche photodiode (APD) which is connected to a monocromator that is used for spectral separation. The monocromator is a device that can measure the wavelength of light and also select the filters needed to be used for a specific excitation radiation. The detectors are also connected to a CCD unit that takes data from each detector to compile a histogram of the data collected. The high performance of BD BIOSCIENCES FACSCalibur makes it an ideal choice for laboratories with tight space restrictions. It has a low noise performance, fast data acquisition, and comprehensive data processing capabilities. Its ability to handle multiplex assays, along with ease of operation, make it ideal for routine clinical and research applications. It is also a cost-effective solution for laboratories with limited budgets. The machine also is equipped with an autoclavable collection bottles which make it easy to collect and measure the sample in the same container. The storage container is equipped with a barcode scanner making it convenient to store the data on the tool. This allows for rapid access to data and makes it easy to monitor patient samples. Overall FACSCalibur is an excellent choice to measure and analyze fluorescent markers and particles in a wide array of applications. Its flexibility and robust performance makes it suitable for routine laboratory work. It is also cost-effective and can be used in a variety of settings, making it ideal for clinical diagnostics, pharmacokinetics and research.
